Today, we followed up a tip from my brothers, Matt and Dave, on a place in Centralia that collects, refinishes and sells old bathroom fixtures. My dream tub was there!
A little longer than the one I was going to order online which would have been a reproduction, this one felt PERFECT when I sat in it. I like that we are not using up all the resources to get a reproduction, but re-using something that has a history.
I like that the feet are a little smaller/more delicate than the really fat claw feet, they will fit the space a lot better. The tub itself won’t leave a lot of “wiggle room” in the alcove, but it will be so comfortable…
Here is a pic as it looks right now. I will decide on a color for the outside later, they will finish it and deliver it in February.
